Sustainable High Performance for Executives Who Refuse Decline


After 29 years in the Royal Netherlands Army and Marechaussee, I discovered what separates high-
performers who maintain capacity for decades from those who burn out: cellular activation.


As an executive, entrepreneur, or veteran, your cognitive and physical capacity is your most valuable asset.
When that capacity declines due to stress, travel, or aging, you don't have the luxury of accepting that "this is
just how it is."
My approach: Military principles of sustainable performance + cellular activation through
Nrf2 pathways = durable high performance without burnout.

Military Precision Meets Scientific Rigor

29 years in special operations taught me sustainable performance under continuous pressure. Nutrigenomics gave me the science to activate it at the cellular level.
In the military, physical readiness was non-negotiable. In civilian life, it's optional—until you realize it's actually the foundation for everything else.

Nutrigenomic Activation

Strategic phytonutrients that trigger Nrf1/Nrf2 pathways. Pharmaceutical-grade formulations, not retail supplements. Timing and dosing matter as much as selection.

This isn't about taking vitamins. It's about giving your genes the signals to activate protective mechanisms they've stopped triggering on their own.

Movement Optimization

Not more exercise—smarter exercise. Strategic resistance training for metabolic health. Zone 2 cardio for mitochondrial function. Mobility work for longevity.

Most executives either overtrain (injury, burnout) or undertrain (gradual decline). Optimal movement sits in a narrow band most people miss.

Recovery Architecture

Sleep optimization, nervous system regulation, stress management. The overlooked component of sustainable performance.

You can't optimize what you don't measure. We track recovery metrics and build protocols around your actual data, not generic advice.

Cognitive Resilience

Mental clarity under pressure, decision fatigue mitigation, focus optimization. Your cognitive capacity is your competitive advantage—or your bottleneck.When executives start tracking cognitive performance alongside physical metrics, they realize how much capacity they've been leaving on the table.

The Process

Week 1: Comprehensive Diagnostic

90-minute intake analyzing current state across all dimensions. Baseline metrics: energy, sleep, stress, cognitive function.Optional lab work (HRV, relevant biomarkers). Initial protocol design.

Weeks 2-6: Foundation Building

Nrf2 optimization protocols implementation. Movement recalibration. Recovery protocols. Weekly refinement based on your response.

Weeks 7-12: Integration & Fine-Tuning

Advanced interventions. Travel and stress resilience protocols.Long-term sustainability strategy. Maintenance planning.

Post-Program: Sustained Performance

Quarterly check-ins (Maintenance program). Protocol updates as research evolves. Lifetime support for re-engagement.

Why Work With Me

René van de Schraaf - 29 Years Royal Netherlands Army & Royal Military Police

Military Background

I served 29 years in the Royal Netherlands Army, including the Koninklijke Marechaussee (Royal Military Police), a specialized force handling military policing, border security, and high-stakes operations.

I've witnessed what separates operators who perform at high levels for decades from those who burn out. Those principles now apply to executives. It's the same challenge, just different uniforms.

Scientific Foundation

Since 2017, specialized in nutrigenomics, the science of nutritional activation of genetic switches. This isn't bro-science or wellness trends. This is peer-reviewed research translated into practical interventions.

No-Bullshit Approach

I'm not a motivational speaker. I'm not a lifestyle guru. I help high-performers optimize their biology with proven methods. No quick fixes.  No marketing speak.

Selective Client Base

I work with maximum 12 intensive clients at any time. This is intentional. Quality over quantity. If you're not ready, I'll tell you.

Proven Methodology

94% success rate among compliant clients. The 6% who don't succeed? Usually non-compliance or unrealistic expectations I should have filtered during intake.

This Isn't For Everyone

I work only with people who:

Take ownership of their health and performance
Are willing to invest meaningfully in their capacity
Can apply protocols consistently
Give and receive feedback constructively
Think long-term rather than seeking quick fixes
If this describes you, let's talk.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this program is right for me?

HeadingDoes this work with existing medical conditions?

Take the Executive Readiness Check (2 minutes) or schedule a discovery call. I'm honest, if I think you're not ready or this isn't the right approach for your situation, I'll tell you. Better for both of us.

In most cases, yes. I work within your medical constraints. For serious conditions, I coordinate with your physicians. I'm not a doctor, I optimize within what's safe and responsible for your situation.

What's the difference between Foundation and Executive Intensive?

What's your success rate?

Foundation: 12 weeks, weekly calls, standard response time (4-6h business days). Executive Intensive: 6 weeks, 2x weekly calls, same-day response (within 4h), priority scheduling including weekends. Choose Intensive if you can't wait 12 weeks or you're in critical transition.

94% among compliant clients. The 6% who don't achieve results typically fall into non-compliance or had unrealistic expectations I should have identified in intake.

Can I participate internationally?

Can I pause the program?

Yes. All consultations are video-based. I work with clients throughout Europe and beyond. Time zone differences are accommodated in scheduling.

Programs are continuous by design, consistency produces results. However, if life circumstances demand (medical emergency, major crisis), we can discuss accommodation. This is evaluated case-by-case.

What if I travel frequently?

How much time does this require weekly?

Perfect. Travel resilience is core to the program. You'll receive protocols for jetlag mitigation, maintaining routines while traveling, hotel room optimization, and performance across time zones.

Consultation time: 1 hour/week (Foundation) or 1.5 hours/week (Intensive). Protocol execution: ~3-4 hours/week (movement, meal preparation, recovery work). Total: ~4-5 hours/week. Designed for busy executives.

Do I need to purchase supplements from you?

What if I don't see results?

No. Program fees cover consultation, protocols, and support, not products.

However, I strongly recommend Protandim Nrf2 Synergizer for all clients. It's the most effective Nrf2 activator available and accelerates results significantly beyond nutrition and movement alone.

LifeVantage sells only through independent consultants. I'm a consultant and provide a direct purchase link (I earn commission, disclosed transparently). You can find another consultant if preferred, the product quality and your results are what matter.

Investment: ~€60/month. Optional, but 90%+ of clients use it because the measurable difference justifies the cost.

I don't offer money-back guarantees. Here's why:

Results require commitment. If you're not willing to follow protocols consistently, track metrics honestly, and give this process your full effort for the program duration, we're not a fit.

My protocols work—94% success rate among compliant clients. But I can't control your execution. I work with executives who take ownership of their health, not those looking for insurance policies.

The 6% who don't succeed? Usually non-compliance or unrealistic expectations I should have filtered during intake—which is why I'm selective about who I work with.

If you need a guarantee to feel comfortable investing in your performance, this program isn't for you.
